    Went to Dublin for 6 days. Went here twice. Both times were fantastic. Our server, Niko, was exceptional. Would literally come back to Dublin (from the states) to eat here again. Both times, we had the bruschetta al pomodoro to start. Literally the best my friend and I have ever had, and she doesn’t even like tomatoes!! Bread was hot and toasty, while the tomatoes were fresh and just the right amount of juicy. You MUST drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar. First night we ordered the bolognese and the rigatoni alla norma — PHENOMENAL! For dessert, order the tiramisu. It will not disappoint. We even spoke to another guest next to us, and they said the Nutella calzone is to die for — even let us have a bite! Second night, we both ordered the ravioli and basically licked the plate clean. This time, we ordered the crème brule, and again, DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Forgot to mention, we got cappuccinos because it would not be an Italian meal if you did not end the night with espresso. Super happy we came across this place. Niko, if you’re reading this we literally love you.

    Food was good and the atmosphere was lively but not intrusive. Service was excellent. The person who looked after our table of 6 was so kind and engaging. He made the evening most enjoyable.

    We had a lovely evening in Al Vesuvio. Everything was super. The staff were very pleasant, efficient and professional. We found the value for money really good, early bird. It was my friends birthday and she received a generous portion of tiramisu with a candle and a "happy birthday " little song. It was busy for a tuesday evening which indicated its popularity. There were some lone Italiand dining which said a lot.I would recommend Al Vesuvio to everyone.
